Realism dragon tattoo
East or West, the dragon is power incarnate. Japanese dragons flow with the body over full sleeves; Western dragons bring medieval menace to backs and chests. In Realism, that reads as: photographic ink.

Photorealistic rendering in skin: portraits, animals and objects with true-to-life light, texture and depth. Realism is technically demanding — designs need a strong tonal structure underneath the detail or they blur with age, so our realism designs keep deliberate contrast anchors.
A dragon carries power & wisdom, protection, good fortune (east) — and Realism's photographic give that symbolism its voice. Placement matters too: this subject flows best on the full sleeve, back, ribs.
